AI is accelerating the work. It cannot replace the human behind it.

In this episode Hal Kimber speaks to Alan Boyer - a former CMO and senior marketing executive at AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Equifax, before crossing over to become an Educator - both as a management professor and curriculum architect

Alan has recently been focussed on looking at how humans need to equip themselves for the AI era and is here to tell us about his new book “ The 7 Communication Superpowers That AI Cannot Automate — the #1 New Release in Business School Guides on Amazon”

Tasks that once required analysis, coordination, writing, and problem-solving can now be completed in seconds. Execution is cheap. What remains — and what becomes more valuable than ever — is everything AI cannot automate: the ability to think clearly under pressure, read signals others miss, govern intelligent systems responsibly, stay steady as conditions shift, and move people toward shared understanding.

These are not soft skills. They are not personality traits. They are structured human capabilities — and in an AI-accelerated world, they determine who leads and who plateaus.
